Sense of Mission
If you read my newletters you will know that a draw a lot of my motivation from my faith.
Sometimes it is good to take stock of ‘The work life balance’… Why do we do what we do!
I work hard as a Town Councillor and I will do the same if elected in May on the […] -

Sometimes things go right…
I’ve had a tough week with a major software ‘release’ and plenty of campaigning on top!
But tonight I look back at quite a successful period. I’m not complacent. Things are not completely ’sorted.’ Even with ringing endorsements in the local pub (I wasn’t partaking of the alcohol either!) won’t seal it for me… Every bit […] -

Good Vibes….
I am not giving away any secrets but I’ve got good feelings about how the campaign may be going…
It is going to be close but the third and fourth parties’ support is, maybe, starting to collapse… Still 2 weeks to go and the Lib Dem win last year was only by 5 votes!… so if […] -

Work life balance… What does that mean?
At the moment I am extremley busy. I have council work, election campaigning and the small matter of my day job…
But it is going well. I’m enjoying it and I’m effective in what I do. I would like a rest soon though!
There are 100 and 1 things I’d love to do if I had the […] -
Fisk's Mutterings, Local Issues
What do you actually want from me?…
Be polite!
The trouble with public consultations is that quite often the real decisions have already been made. I hope when I ask residents about issues that I don’t have too many preconceptions.
But it is difficult sometimes to ‘frame the right questions’… And election time is not really the best period to do this…. Too many […] -

Littter picking and WI lunches
There is something quietly satisfying in picking litter… Not sure what it is though!
The Common is a beautiful environment and I hate to see the cans, bottles and junk food (and worse…) scattered around places where children play.
This litter pick was organised by Rodborough Parish Council and as far as I’m concerned was a great […] -

5 Votes in it in Rodborough…
Last year we won Rodborough by 5 votes from the Tories…
Its going to close this time as well. Every vote counts!
If you want an active local campaigner who knows the ward inside out (I was born here… And if you can get more ‘local’ than that I’d like to know how…!) you got to vote […] -

Software in Politics…
Why?
I love technology. I earn a modest wage breaking computer software. When it comes to that estential moment in the campaign when the final touch is need to the leaflets I break the DTP software!
After May 1 i shall investigate alternative vendors… Maybe…? -

Quiet Day … At last!
I do stop working sometimes… not often though.
Today was a normal day at work followed by a much needed rest. Fear not, I shall be back campaigning soon!
I break and sort out software for a living. Good fun but hard work. Its about finding problems and then helping to solve them. It requires good communication […] -

Cycleways and disconected networks
Out in the cold and wet again today!… on top of a full day of software Testing, but hey I’m tough!
One person was concerned about lcoal lib dem transport policy. Can we connect up all the bits and pieces of the various cycle-paths etc… well maybe… I don’t like making promises I can’t keep… yes […]
